H-CUP/AMLIN

Now that I am supporting teams in both the H-Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup, last week-end necessarily became a bit of a rugby bender. As the Telegraph's rugby correspondent says: "what an orgy of televised action these weekends have become." Indeed. Furthermore, in order to fit in all of the games, these week-ends begin on Thursday evenings but on Saturday and Sunday, I managed to get most of my chores out of the way in the morning before the 1pm kick-off. But once those games started, that was me gone, not to be interrupted for the rest of the day. Some of the games were admittedly more thrilling than others and some decidedly more soggy than others. The best bit though? No, not Mirco's entrance in the 54th minute of the Leinster game (although it came a close second). It was the camera angled on Nick Easter standing in his ripped shorts in the torrential rain! ;p
